All in all, an inexpensive sports car drive for a BMW. Good gas mileage but very weak pick up. Good for cruising, not much more. Build qulity definitely not up to BMW standards. Many problems widely known by BMW on this model that they leave owners hung with to pay. Mine also has a manual convertable top which is a bit of a pain.

Great ride and handling with a strong grip. Engine is a bit thrashy for a four, but the car is quick when need be. Great value for the money with good reliablity. One of the greatest styles ever.

16 Valve 4 cyclinder is rough, noise and lack of power, Japanese makes better 4 cyclinder engine. Poor chassis, very dangerous for fast driving. Chassis twise during hard corning. Poor quality seat, it moves back and forth due to wear out of seat rail. POOR!!!
1.9 all the way!
